Yeah, Im a slacker and not a care will be given. I have been taking life pretty easy lately. After a very busy first half of the year, I got to take a halftime of about six weeks from racing and have gotten some much needed time in with my awesome girls. July started out in SLC for nationals. This race is one of the most stressful races of the circuit for me. I guess its because its the local national and people generally come out to watch/support me and I dont want to disappoint them. It was like 700 degrees that weekend and the wind, like always, was blowing. The weekend ended well, finished up with 2 1sts, and 2 2nds. My lil grom was there to show some support and I won the race she was there for.
The following weekend I was able to go to Pittsburgh for a race. Holy hot! The humidity had this mtn boy sweating every ounce of water out of my body. It was crazy, but the times that were had made up for the intense heat. I was roomed with 2008 olympic silver medalist mike day for the weekend, and he had my mind right where it needed to be to grab another set of wins. Stoked.
Then it was time to be home and be a dad and a husband. I have to tell you I am one lucky cat to have such a great lil family. I have truly been blessed and couldnt ask for anything better. The grom is such a little miss independent, riding her bikes, coloring, talking, climbing, cuddling, watching shows with a sore dad, and helping around the house. The wifester got her a little desk to sit next to hers when she is working from home, aka bringing in the bacon! It makes me happy that we lucky enough to have the wiff, yes wiff, working from home and be there with our grom. It would crush me to have her at a sitters house all day, we would miss out on so much.
The craziness that was my garage before
I have wanted to finish my garage/bike shop for quite some time, but being gone all the time left very little chance of it getting done. Its not like I was doing the majority of the work, but still, I dont want to be gone when someone is around all my stuff at my house. So one weekend I was home I had a guy that owed me some money drywall the garage. I painted it, and rearranged it, and with the help of my boy zach got all the base on, and tv on the wall. You know, important stuff for a garage. Super pumped on how it all came together. We also fixed some sprinkler issues that we had going on at our house as well, who cares that it took three years? Not me.
The finished product. well except for that blank space...............
Grabbed some great new sponsors in the past couple of months that I am really stoked on. Two local companies have stepped up and are keeping not only me fresh, but my hussy as well. Its nice to have some local support, and really nice that the hook her up as well. Moms need free stuff too! Check em out if you feel so inclined.
I love her more than anything in this world. My best homie.
This weekend its off to Park City for a mini vacation with the girls. I have been given permission to take the bike, so I might get three hours or so on it. Park City is my most favorite place ever, well, next to Seattle. Oh yeah Macklemore in December, Zach, Chris, get your tickets!
Life is good in the hood.
